the Dresden Files in a Government Town

(1/7) > >>

Ancalagon:
Hello

I'm going to talk about Ottawa here, but really what I'm about to say would apply to Washington DC as well (or London, Paris, any National capital).

The assumption in the Dresden files so far is that the government knows little, if any, about the supernatural.  This is made somewhat easy by the novels being located in Chicago - ie NOT the national capital.

However, I'm planning on running my game in Ottawa - Canada's capital.  If there is any sort of government agency, awareness or anything - even if it's pretty limited - it's going to have quite an impact in Ottawa itself, and therefore on how the game is run. 

If anyone has any advice on running the game in "Government Town", I'm all ears :)

iago:
Your most important question is whether or not the government itself is in the dark about the supernatural.

Either possible answer will guide much of the rest.

meh:

Judging by the existance of thing like "Project Blue Book" and "The Star Gate project" (not the one from TV) I would think that the Gov. is aware of if not exactly competent to handle the supernatural. I figure when McCoy pulled that satellite out of orbit the guys at NORAD noticed that it came down in one piece on an isolated target at a trajectory not consistent with natural orbital degradation.

-The head of the government section in the city is listed as a free holding lord under the accords with the emergency services gaining protection. Lawyers being used to argue the details of the accords in criminal cases involving supernatural beings.
-The government attempting to regulate the supernatural community, immigration, registration perhaps a supernatural department but a large and successful one in comparison to the one in the books
- Joint White Council and government training centers for developing mages.
   Perhaps members of the police force being trained in return for development of facilities.
-'Wizard' Council Flats. Magic users being put in old or run down accomodation so they dont blow the place up
- Negotiations between the Fae and the government over city expasion and green space
- Use of supernatural beings for research, such as experimentation of Red Court as an attempt to work on a cure for Red Court Infected
- Registration of Red Court Infected (perhaps access to 'Blood Donations?' as a benefit of registering?)
